Unbricking a B!, or using it on a B1? I've used in on the clicky kbd
B1 and my A3 without issues, except it has a horrible crackling after
the startup sound, all else seems OK. I have a membrane B1 I've yet to
unbrick which I can test it on at some point if you like.

Specifically on the unbricking, was the context I was trying to
establish.  I know about the crackling.

xo 1.75 report

2011-09-05 Thread Gabriel Eirea
Hi:

I received the XO 1.75 a few days ago and tested it this Sunday (sep 4
2011). Details follow:

Preliminaries:

- green dot laptop
- membrane keyboard
- flashed with q4b07.rom
- sugar control panel shows build 19 customized, sugar 0.88.0,
firmware not available, wireless firmware not available
- used sugar's update software before testing anything

Laptop:

- Network: connected to wifi network wpa/wpa2 with no problem
- Keyboard: increasing/decreasing brightness does nothing
- Keyboard: increasing/decreasing volume does nothing
- Keyboard: frame button does nothing
- Power: the screen goes into some low consumption mode after a few
minutes of inactivity but its resolution is poor (i was expecting to
see the bw high resolution mode instead)

Sugar:

- Control Panel: keyboard option doesn't show anything

Sugar Activities:

- Memorize: basic example working ok
- Write-76: failed to start (Import error: No module named abiword)
- Paint-36: failed to start (fill/__init__.py: line 21: exceptions
must be classes, not str)
- TamTamSuite: failed to start (common/Util/Clopper/__init__.py: line
21: exceptions must be classes, not str)
(I can see a pattern here, maybe a python version problem?)
- Record-80. it shows as Grabar, and only allows audio recording,
which doesn't play back
(weird thing: once when I stop the activity, the laptop goes to the
booting message screen and last line says
/sys/devices/platform/dcon/freeze: No such file or directory and
then it freezes; I was w/o power cord attached; could not reproduce)
- Browse-125: works ok
- Speak-31: works ok
- StopWatch-11 : works ok
- Labyrinth-11: works ok
- Pippy-40 : physics example doesn't work (no box2d module); sound
examples don't make any sound
- Physics-8 : failed to start (import error, no box2d)
- Calculate-37: works ok
- Terminal-34: works ok
- Maze-12: works ok
- TurtleArt-114: works ok (only tested basic things like moving the turtle)
- GetBooks-9: failed to start (file languagenames.py, line 50,
LanguageName has no attribute _cache)

If there are specific things to test please let me know.

Regards,

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,
development in arm branch is moving fast,
please be sure to test in the last available image.
Many of this errors are fixed.
Now the last one is os42, you can download it from
http://build.laptop.org/F14-arm/os42/
Thanks for testing!

Re: 11.2.0 XO-1 boot from USB or SD doesn't work for me

2011-09-05 Thread chm

I've had no luck trying to boot 11.2.0 on
an XO-1 either.

The ability to boot from an SD card has
allowed me to use my XO-1 and to have it
available for testing various OS versions.

Any pointers to references for an SD card
boot for the latest OS versions would be
appreciated.

Also, if there is a better list for this
query, please advise.

Thanks much,
Chris

Hello,

previous OS versions booted fine without any change when same build
files were in internal jffs2 or on SD card or on USB stick. With 11.2.0
it look like this no longer works.

When I boot from USB or SD slot the initrd prints many lines of
something similar to 'chdir to /lib/modules failed' and finally
something like 'Root device not found, sleeping forever'.

When examining initrd files in /boot I found that there are actually two
initial ramdisks, one initrd below 2MB size and one actrd having ~5MB.
The 5MB one does have /lib/modules inside while the normal initrd does not.

When replacing initrd by actrd the chdir /lib/modules error message is
gone, and I see usb modules inserted and I see mass storage module
detecting the usb device but it printed another messages about
scsi_wait_scan module not found and again root device not found.

I am using SD card with single ext3 partition with fs label OLPCRoot
in usb card reader or directly in SD slot (just like it works with
previous OS versions).

Then I extracted initrd with gzip and cpio, copied /lib/modules from
actdr, repacked and can confirm the original initrd code behaves exactly
the same as actrd one.

Then I found file cmdline/20olpc-boot-cmdline.sh inside intrd that
checks boot device from ofw and hardcodes root=/dev/sda2 with this code:
if [ -z $root ]; then
# if no root device was specified, use OFW bootpath to find root
...
/pci/usb@*) root=/dev/sda2 ;; # external USB, assume partitioned


So I changed sda2 to sda1 but it still does not boot with same message -
root device not found. Sorry that I don't have exact error messages but
the device does not boot so I cannot copy them directly.

Currently I am out of ideas.

Is booting from SD or USB on xo-1 supposed to work with 11.2.0? (looks
like it is not)

Anyone knows the boot procedure inside initrd and can point me to place
that needs fixing so usb or sd card boot works with 1.2.0?


BTW, I have a need for both ways, my son's xo-1 boots older OS from SD
card (with swap file) and I have another xo-1 with broken CAFE chip that
boots (older OS) from USB only and mostly works except internal NAND, SD
slot and camera - 3 features done by semi-dead CAFE chip. The only
user-visible issue is camera not working in activities and I can live
with that :-) Semi-working means that ocassionally the CAFE chip works
(based on phase of the moon) but mostly the kernel prints some error
messages at boot when probing PCI devices. When it works it actually
boots from internal NAND just fine but the system hangs few minutes or
hours later when CAFE chip decides to go away again.

Re: xo 1.75 accelerometer for pippy

Good.  Didn't know it would work with seek.  That's interesting.  You
might want a delay in the loop to prevent reduced battery usage on later
units, the rate is constrained now by a design fault.
